Story
Meet Blue! Blue had his DNA done and he is 100% pure American Bully! This big, gentle guy has a heart of gold and an easygoing way about him. Blue is a mellow companion who’s happiest enjoying the simple things—slow walks, sunny naps, and spending time with his people. Blue is friendly with everyone he meets, including kids (he’s currently living with a 6-year-old) and other dogs. On walks, he’s shown no interest in cats and may be cat tolerant. He loves getting out for his daily strolls but keeps things relaxed—no marathon hikes required here. He’s a great leash walker and may even have some off-leash skills. Blue is also a fan of car rides (he’ll happily hop in for any outing) and—believe it or not—doesn’t mind bath time either. Blue is a well-trained, polite housemate. He’s house trained, can be left home alone without issues, and knows a long list of commands including sit, stay, down, come, leave it, and more. He’s especially gentle when taking treats, making him a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. In his foster home, Blue enjoys a couple of easy walks a day, followed by plenty of time relaxing, chewing on a bone, or soaking up the sun. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, and well-mannered companion, Blue is your guy! • This dog is part of our Still Waiting, Still Wonderful program, which includes a waived adoption fee, lifetime training support, gifts from Pet Food Express, boarding credit from The Pack Fruitvale, and a professional “Gotcha Day” photo session with digital prints—contact a Rocket Dog representative for details.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:18Pearl – Your Loyal Velcro Companion Pearl is a just-over-3-year-old Pit Bull mix weighing 45 pounds, and she’s looking for someone to stick to! People-oriented and affectionate: Pearl frequently checks in with her person on walks and loves staying close. Kneel down, and she may climb right into your lap for cuddles and lean in for pets. She’s happiest when she can be part of whatever you’re doing. Smart and treat-motivated: Pearl knows “sit” and is happy to show off her skills when treats are involved. A playful companion: She loves chasing tennis balls and enjoys having both a playmate and a person to lean on. Good leash manners: Pearl walks nicely on leash and frequently looks to her person for connection. Pearl has remained calm around other dogs. She would do best with an appropriately matched canine companion, or as the only dog in the home with opportunities to socialize with suitable dog friends.October 17, 2026, 1:00 pm

Velcro dog and very loving! Potato is 8 years old and healthy (vet was impressed by his chart). I got him in Oklahoma while stationed in the area. He's a famous boi on Tiktok and has a solid fan base lol As a military member recently divorced, by busy schedule keeps me away from the house too often. He needs a home where he can be around an owner more to get the love he needs.

Story
I adopted Alfalfa from the SPCA at 11 weeks. He is a very outgoing and athletic young pup full of energy and loves to have fun. He is not aggressive but needs a ton of exercise and play time every day. He is house broken and knows basic commands. He is a big time snuggler and wants to meet and befriend every human and dog he sees! Sadly, I am unable to keep Alfalfa as I need to move out of state to care for my elderly parents. Looking for a good home for him with someone(s) that have a lot of time, space, energy and patience to devote to a playful and loving 10 month old pup!

Story
DOB: 4/6/2025, Weighs 72 lbs, friendly, energetic, puppy I & puppy II graduate, but still learning. Simba was rehomed with us Aug 2025, is now 16 months old, loves to run, play and enjoys a yard. He is very dog friendly at dog parks, is house trained and still learning to hold his excitement, but generally listens and wants to please. We have to find a new home due to a family medical crisis and hope to match him with a loving and dog confident family that enjoys his bigger size, large head and tendency to still pull when on walks during first minutes, and finally he is frequently visiting with little children (ages 3 to 16), but gets excited and clumsy!

Adopt Pluto This handsome boy found a foster home to wait in until he finds a furever home. Pluto’s story is very heartbreaking . He didn’t deserve the fate that he had when his owner stabbed him almost to death! He was taken to the ER and revived by his amazing hospital staff. He was taken to the shelter and that’s where we were able to take him in. Pluto Does GREAT on walks!! He also Does well with other dogs, he also pays little to no attention to other dogs on walks and he seems to mind his own. Pluto plays fetch, 100% and prefers squeak toys He gets a little fixated on cats but hasn’t met any in the same home yet. Pluto honestly is overall such a great dog and i think any family would definitely love him ! Pluto is neutered, vaccinated, chipped and ready for a home. He came from neglect and had so much trauma to his body. He was stabbed by a human and lives to find a better life! His ER nurse helped him recover and then became his foster! Pluto didn’t deserve such abuse and now he gets a chance to find a home. He might be around 3 years old and has a whole life ahead of him! Pluto was rescued from the Stanislaus animal shelter. He would love to come join your family! To meet Pluto please apply! Located in San Jose ca Can anyone please open their home to adopt this sweet boy

Story
King came to Jelly's Place with Chonchi. They had livedvtogether theircwhole lives and we originally thought that they needed to be adopted together. However, since being in a foster home for several months, we and the foster feel that they can be adopted separately. King was extremely overweight when he first got here; hence the name King Size. He has since lost about 10 pounds and looks and feels so much better. King is a a big lover boy and couch potato. He is affectionate, eager to please and happy to snuggle up by your feet. He never turns down a treat which makes him easy to train. His foster said this about King: King is loving, sweet, wants belly rubs and pets. Loves affection Always wants to be included in whatever it is you’re doing. King is neutered, microchipped and will be UTD on his vaccines. If you want to meet King, apply at jellysplace.org

Story
Is there anything cuter than a beefy, snorty ball of wrinkles? Bernie is a 44lb professional couch potato who has an affection for a leisurely jaunt around the block to smell the roses.. After that? It’s time to get comfy and relax on the couch for a snooze. Looking for a hiking companion? Bernie’s not your gal. Bernie is both house-trained and crate-trained, although she’d much rather stretch out on the couch and enjoy some peaceful alone time while her foster mom is away. Bernie has blossomed into a social butterfly and loves to say hi to new friends when she's out and about. She's dog friendly and has made friends with her canine foster siblings. Sorry - she has not been cat tested! If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who enjoys short strolls, cozy couch time, good company, and being everyone’s favorite coworker, Bernie may be your girl! (MA)

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog F:5Bennie is a 2-year-old, 46-pound pittie mix who's really come into his own. Once a little unsure, he now happily plays fetch and flops over for full-body wiggles. On field trips, Bennie enjoys running on the beach, exploring trails, and greeting people with a wagging tail. He walks nicely on leash, often checking over his shoulder to make sure you're still with him. Squirrels definitely bring out his bouncy side, but he responds well to hand signals for "sit," and is a quick learner when treats are involved. After an adventure, he's happy to nap in the car. Bennie may be a little hard of hearing. Our volunteer groomer reported he startles easily, but recovers quickly with a little reassurance. Otherwise, this sweet and cuddly guy was wonderful for his bath and nail trim. While Bennie has been social and relaxed meeting other dogs, he had a disagreement during a playgroup session and might be best as the only dog in his future home. That way he can focus on what he loves most: exploring with his people, chasing tennis balls, and claiming a well-earned spot in your lap.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  October 17, 2026, 1:00 pm
